very sick, looks clean man, keep up the nice work. one day mine will be there.
The line on the top of the firewall is one of the A/C lines.It might be a 4g63 thing, but what's that hard line that runs across the top of your firewall?
Also, if you have a vice, this tool helps with the assembly of those hose ends, as I had the same trouble you had.

Welp, slight update. TOB is still making noise but I don't feel like changing it until winter so I am leaving it as is for now.
Ah! Gotcha.
And for some reason my link doesn't work and I can't edit it. But they're Fragola Vise jaw inserts. It's like a 3rd hand when installing the fittings.
EDIT: how'd you keep those fittings from hitting the hood????? mine doesn't have the room with poly engine mounts *end edit*
Now you sound like a true hard core DSM'er... , I always think it but never post it when i hear about TOB noise.. I see it like this, if i know it's in good shape, i know it's lubed sufficiently and it's still noisy..well, i'm just gonna leave it there until i feel like changing it at that point... of course dealing with pains that make you feel like you were trampled by a horse after doing an R&R on the trans might be my main reason.. i think for most the fact that it's a DSM could also be enough to lead others down the same path with them...I've had some that were noisy at first then within a hundred miles went quiet. but if the trans is not fully in (say no t-case, bolted to engine only, not to body) and i hear the noise on initial test start, I will pull to replace simply because it's not all the way back together.
of course once i got the advice from Tim Z (twicks69) to use an engine hoist from above to handle the transmission weight, the job got so much easier to do that on a car like mine with minimal OEM parts and minimal parts that don't serve a direct required function mine is probably 10 times easier to change than one in a stock or near stock DSM (the hoist method though, i can't say enough about... I unhook the top tranny mount and put the chain on one of the 17mm bolt studs as soon as i can in the process (removing the 2g cruise control solenoid makes this easier to get to without worry of breaking the cruise unit)
but that's the only way i've found where i can get the input shaft lined up and inserted in the clutch disk within litterally 10-15 minutes compared to using a jack from underneath and having to angle, spin, re-angle and tilt then raise, lower and dance an irish jig to get it lined up..having it dangle on a chain where you can rock/tilt it easily just takes all the pains outof lining them up..another good tip is to pull the little rubber vent (i pull either the topor front most of the three and use a light to peek in and guide the shaft to clutch hole)
I would really like to hear more about your experience with that cluch after some hard launches ( so far my ACT 2600 with parts store full organic disk is handling 4800-5200RPM 2-step launches quite well...untill i learned how to get it out fast enough to not break parts and also not overheat it too much i'm now finally not affraid to launch my car decently where i leave the line spinning 3 if not all 4 tires anytime i want wihtout too much worry. I may not get the holeshot because i get it moving just a tad, then as soon as i feel that's where the engagement point is i keep on the gas and lift my foot almost as fast as possiblewihtout it being a straight "dump", but not where i feel like i am intentionally "slipping" the clutch either... if you haven't figured it out dn't worry you will... but you have the clutch that should be able to handle the overheated practice tried until you get it right
here's 2 examples, the one in daylight you can see me get it rolling a tad then really launching, in the second vid you can see that it's fast enough that can waste a little time to catch up and pass thins that aren't AWD
